Don't forget that those on Virgin Mobile are also paying only $25 for unlimited text/data. And how many other phones are getting left out on your standard carriers where people are paying $100 a month. Samsung S phones are still not updated on American carriers.

Hrm...I have a LG Optimus V on the way for the wife because of the crap I read about the Intercept being a laggy turd. I will have to compare the two when my buddy gets his intercept updated. I am trying out VM because my wife is on an OLD sprint phone and been off contract for years. VM plan is cheaper per month and more minutes...plus unlimted data.

No real reason to care unless you already own this phone. The Optimus V for 149.99 is clearly the better spec and price wise. Unless the update adds hardware like a gpu don't purchase this beater that costs more with less

They are both slick little phones but the Optimus One series including the V are shipped stock with Froyo 2.2.1, 512MB RAM and a 320x480 resolution screen compared to the Intercept which has 256MB RAM and a 240x400 resolution screen. Also the Optimus One series has a 1xEV-DO rev.A compared to the Intecept's 1xEV-DO rev.0.

This is the one thing i am a pessimist on. i really do not think Samsung will release this. I think they will continue to promise or "rumor" dates and in the end not deliver.

At first i blew off the rumors of Samsung holding the release for more money from carriers and they really wanted to entice you to purchase the next line of phones. I just dont know any more, and i am starting to lean more towards the rumors being true then just some guy/gal spouting off at the mouth (as what usually happens on the internet)
